Rescued From the Very Jaws of
Death.

While the writer is we'll aware that
written testimonials regarding the
phenomenal efficacy of any particular
method of medical or surgical treat
ment of disease should be deprecated,
for they certainly are looked
upon with well-founded suspicion
by the public at large as being
little more than the cunning de-
vice of the charlatan, quack or
vendor of patent nostrums, to make
pecuniary profit; yet. no one will
hardly dispute the assertion that when
q remarkable medical cure is had OF
any description. and person actually
saved thereby, from premature death,
the individual thus benefited owes 1t
his fellow sufferers: nay, 1t becomes IN
the opinion of many an imperative duty
to make known in as public manner as
possible the method by which his health
was regained, that others similarly
afflicted may be able, if they desire, to
reap the benefits. 1t is with this end
in view that the undersigned feels
prompted to conscientiously pen the
| following narrative and testimonial as
to the means whereby he gainad re-
| newed lease of life. To commence with

patton farmer and miner; am - years
of age and have resided in Beaver
County, Utah. nearly all my life. oc-
cupy and cultivate farm at ROCKY
Ford; but have been in the habit for a
number of years past OF spending the
winter months of each year in laborlne
in and around the silver and lead mines
in the western. part of Beaver County.

by the North Star Silver Mining Com

month above mentioned, became ut.

sivapor and dust that impregnated the
workings of the mine in which Ia
bored. This prostration and sickness
was accompanied by an almost tota
suppression of urine, and marked
dropsical tendency of the body ane
limbs. Failing to get any relief from
the local physicians. my friends con
cluded it best to send ne for treatmen
to the Holy Cross Hospital. in Salt Lake
1 City. While the expert physicians o
that excellent institution. undoubtedly
used their best skill, my case seemed u
utterly battle them, and at the expira
ton of two months l was discharged
with the melancholy information tina
my case was incurable. l was thel

financially, and but for the kind office

were, to die. However, was taken Il
